Global mixology: guerra del tequila in casa Diageo, la crisi della nightlife londinese e i cocktail più cari al mondo

🍸 Tequila flavored brand 21 Seeds sued parent company Diageo for alleged deceitful acquisition in 2022, amidst developing a competing product, Casamigos Jalapeño Tequila. The lawsuit filed on April 2 by Fortis Advisors in Delaware Chancery Court, USA, accuses Diageo of undermining 21 Seeds' sales potential. The British multinational acquired 21 Seeds in spring 2022 for an undisclosed sum. UK nightlife faces a crisis, with predictions of over half of the bars, pubs, and clubs potentially closing by 2030, risking 3.5 million jobs, one-third of the hospitality workforce. London's venue offering could plummet by over 57% from 8,457 to 3,617 within five years. Despite this, luxury cocktails thrive, with Salvatore Calabrese's Salvatore’s Legacy priced at €8,800, making it Europe's most expensive. The Baccarat x Patrón, crafted by Calabrese for Baccarat's 260th anniversary, auctioned on April 7 for €36,990 in Dubai, and the Ritz Carlton Tokyo's Diamonds are Forever sold for over €18,000.
